Heh, your welcome? Good luck profiting on my popularization of these weapons.

Anyhow, I've added even more weapons all over the place in my article. I've even added a new section: Miscellaneous.
if I could, I'd link to your article.

I keep a shop, so that others can have useful items, not so much to make money.

I'd make more sniping rare things, then I do mantaning an invintory of single use items... but you don't get repete customers...

reminds me... sold out again, bbl
Quote:But that's not really the point... you're comparing apples to oranges here, multi use weps can always be resold at (generally speaking) no loss at all, while single use is np gone forever. I remember it used to be quite a common arguement back years ago for people here and on PPT to say that single use items were a good deal as long as you didn't spend more than the cost of an equivalent multi-use weps. Finally someone (sirhatter maybe) pointed out the difference between the nps spent on multi and single use weps...

Anyway, pretty good article.

Pretty much the only weapons that you'll be able to resell for the same amount of nps that you bought them for/to make a noticeable profit are Retired and Hidden Tower weapons. War, hoarding and weapon popularity is what causes weapons that are still being dumped into the economy to inflate, and during a war I'd rather use my weapons then sell them Wink Plus, if TNT keeps releasing weapons like Bone Sceptre, Ice Club, Stone Club and Psellias Fighting Fan no weapons will be safe from deflation. Just about every 6-10 iconer deflated to about half of what they used to be because of them. Think about it, a person could have bought about 430 Slippery Floor Potions from the money lost from a single Scuzzys Comb deflation. 860 if they used dual Sad

Speaking of Slippery Floor Potion, it really is an amazing weapon if your good at predicting. In my old set that focused on using beserk attack as often as possible to end the battle quick as possible (its hard to prolong if your losing roughly 150+ hp per turn!) full blockers like Ring of the Lost and Slippery Floor Potion were important. If your opponent is doing next to 0 icons while your dealing a fair amount and berserking/fiercing then its pretty much the same as if they were frozen now isn't it?

Also, H4000 Helmet won't be reaching 10 million anytime soon with MMoM in the Hidden Tower. Great article btw!
This is a good guideBig Grin
Very nice guide. Thorough input and explanation of weaponry for battlers who are on a budget and need last-minute or emergency-use weapons for battle.

However, using mainly Fragile/One-Use Weapons as a permanent or Long-Term addition to your set can or will cause major problems for you in terms of saving or upgrading to Non-Breakable Weapons that will prove to be less of a pain and more useful in the future.

Prices fluctuate and buying up Fragile/One Use Items to replace them after usage can be very expensive.

Only buy them when you absolutely need to. Don't buy them on a regular basis to replace or else you'll find yourself spending hundreds of thousands or millions when you could have used that cash to save for permanent weapons.

AND be smart about your battling when using these items. With each failed use, that's money down the drain. Battle smart.
do you have a neopets name, i've aparently forgotten it, I should link to you from my shop.
You should add something about Defenders of Neopia, and how these are some of the best items to use on those missions if you need that little extra boost for the win. I loved your article though, and I never knew Novas were so powerful...might have to buy a few once I get Meuka :\
